10. WTF. Did some repuke's kid have a halloween project due..

2. Is it just me, or on Richardson's does Russert completely misinterpret the statistics?

Or am I missing something?

[jillan]

3. I read that too about Richardson.

They really don't have much to say on any of the candidates, other than call them 'liberal'.

7. Biden's was the worst.

They had like three quotes.

"Well, he's liberal" -Joe in Kansas.

"He's a pretty liberal guy" - Jane in Texas.

"He's liberal I think" -Jesse

Oh the horror!

8. And I'm supporting this man? Thanks for the wake-up call, R's!

[gateley]

4. Ooooh. They're all LIBERALS! Terrifying! nt

[lvx35]

6. Isn't that great? I was expecting to hear something bad. Only Richardson got stung.

The rest we're simply "liberal" according to media sources. Scary!

5. They don't even feature the would-be scariest for goppers:

Dennis Kucinich.

Boggity boogity boo.
